Very good experience , is definitely worth it!. Mauricio is a fantastic tour guide and his driving skills are 10/10 literally felt like a little rollercoaster at times due to the curvy roads in Madeira. You get to see all the island with some amazing sights, Mauricio was very informative throughout the tour and drove us to multiple free locations where theres no charge and still had the same views ! Personally I loved this ! We did make a quick stop towards the end of the tour for some Poncha 😅 which was a great end to the tour . I would definitely recommend!

Excellent Tour Of Madeira

This two day tour is an ideal way to see more of the island of Madeira. Our guide/driver, Gloria, was excellent. She was friendly, polite and very knowledgeable about the routes and places we visited. We had plenty of time at each of the stops and never felt at all rushed. The trip was an excellent addition to our holiday which we would highly recommend.

Whole day tour was fantastic!

Truly an extraordinary way to see the whole island highlights in one day. Carefully curated so your ahead of the crowds, allowed time to wander, take photos along the way. Better than I imagined. Luis explained things along the way, never rushed or hovered. He is native to Madeira and it shows the passion he has for this beautiful island. Hands down the best way to see the island in one day.

From Levadas to Mountain Peaks – Brilliant Day Out

What a brilliant 4x4 tour! Pedro brought fantastic energy, passion and knowledge throughout the day, making the experience both informative and great fun. Manu the Land Rover ran smoothly and confidently, giving us a comfortable ride while showing us some amazing sights. Excellent service from start to finish. Highly recommended! Fanal Forest 🌳 at 1600 metres and lunch stop at Seixal was perfect.

Great tour! We spotted dolphins within the first 10 minutes, which was an amazing start to the experience. The staff on board were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to share information about the dolphins and the surrounding area. It was a memorable trip, and we would highly recommend it.

Sunrise Tour at Pico do Arieiro

Great experience with a really nice tour guide who brought us to some extra viewing points and walks that we wouldn't have been able to find ourselves. For the sunrise itself we were a bit unlucky with the cloud cover but it was worth it anyway for the nice breakfast and other viewing points. Would highly recommend!

PR1 Sunrise Pico do Arieiro Self-Guided Hiking Transfer

Marina_G, Apr 2026

Convenient and well organised

Pick up was on time and communication ahead was very good and detailed. The tour arrived in time for sunrise and we were lucky to have a great day for it. Pedro gave a good overview of the hikes involved. He left no question unanswered. My only criticism is that I would have wanted to have been there a bit earlier because by the time he had finished the briefing there wasn't that much time to find a good place for taking photographs (it might be fine for people taking photos with a phone but with a camera you need a bit of time to find the best location and set everything up. Additionally and that's nothing to do with the tour company but I think it should be in the information upfront to manage expectations: the toilets up there are only open from 9am onwards and basically to find a quiet spot when it is heaving with people is very tricky. The PR 1 hike itself was of course also busy but still worth it. The PR 3 hike was very quiet and beautiful.

Whale and Dolphin Watching Tour in Madeira

Sofia_P, Apr 2026

A amazing morning trip!

We had the most incredible trip with Luca & Manny onboard! Luca was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife of Madeira & Manny was a fantastic supporting host & camera man! We were lucky enough to follow a group of Fin Whales and we saw several blows. We also saw a dolphin, seal & jellyfish. We also stopped for a swim which was delightful. The boat was perfect for the small group of passengers and it was a very intimate trip. We thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend!! Thank you :)

Not for the faint hearted but we loved it

Madeira is advertised as a beautiful island of mountains, sea, valleys and levadas coupled with beautiful scenery. When researching how best to get a taste of all this we felt that tarmac roads and cushioned seats wouldn’t let us experience the true Madeira. Viator, through The Green Devils allowed us a true off road experience and we loved it. Thank you
